Book excerpt: Unlike so many of his gay buddies who fantasized about finding a dream lover, Chase Hyde had no plans to settle down. Being in top shape allowed him to cruise West Hollywood for exhilarating muscle sex with one hot bodybuilder after the next. A devout, self-acknowledged "roamosexual", his foremost objection to settling down was that having a partner would take him off the market. So even if love was never in the air, lust was always just around the corner. Chase expected to continue his carefree lifestyle until, through a correspondence in cyberspace, he met Hunter Rowe, an up-and-coming Madison Avenue advertising executive and fellow bodybuilder who pined for a long-term relationship. Driven by their passion for muscle, the two men form an instant, powerful connection and dive into an intense, long-distance love affair. Neither Chase nor Hunter can imagine the twists of fate that await in Muscle-Bound, a passionate tale about the turbulent pursuit of sexual conquest set against the world of muscle obsession, gym addiction and steroid abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Mildred Burke, the longest reigning champion of female wrestling, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Kings of Cocaine. In this in-depth account, journalist Jeff Leen pulls back the curtain on a forgotten era when a petite midwesterner used her beauty and brawn to dominate America’s most masculine sport. At only five feet two, Mildred Burke was an unlikely candidate for the ring. A waitress barely scraping by on Depression-era tips, she saw her way out when she attended her first wrestling match. When women were still struggling for equality with men, Burke regularly fought—and beat—male wrestlers. Rippling with muscle and dripping with diamonds, she walked the fine line between pin-up beauty and hardened brawler. An unforgettable slice of Americana, The Queen of the Ring captures the golden age of wrestling, when one gritty, glamorous woman rose through the ranks to take her place in athletic history. “Jeff Leen has made a fabulous contribution to the sports-history canon. The Queen of the Ring is a marvelous evocation of an era, and a riveting portrait of a one-of-a-kind American moll.” —Sally Jenkins, author of The Real All Americans

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable eighty-five-day journey of the first two women to canoe the 2,000-mile route from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay Unrelenting winds, carnivorous polar bears, snake nests, sweltering heat, and constant hunger. Paddling from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay, following the 2,000-mile route made famous by Eric Sevareid in his 1935 classic Canoeing with the Cree, Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho faced unexpected trials, some harrowing, some simply odd. But for the two friends—the first women to make this expedition—there was one timeless challenge: the occasional pitfalls that test character and friendship. Warren’s spellbinding account retraces the women’s journey from inspiration to Arctic waters, giving readers an insider view from the practicalities of planning a three-month canoe expedition to the successful accomplishment of the adventure of a lifetime. Along the route we meet the people who live and work on the waterways, including denizens of a resort who supply much-needed sustenance; a solitary resident in the wilderness who helps plug a leak; and the people of the Cree First Nation at Norway House, where the canoeists acquire a furry companion. Describing the tensions that erupt between the women (who at one point communicate with each other only by note) and the natural and human-made phenomena they encounter—from islands of trash to waterfalls and a wolf pack—Warren brings us into her experience, and we join these modern women (and their dog) as they recreate this historic trip, including the pleasures and perils, the sexism, the social and environmental implications, and the enduring wonder of the wilderness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find more similar titles including a Free Catalog at www.StrongmanBooks.com The story of George F. Jowett is most inspiring to all who are seeking great strength and a powerfully developed body. As a boy he was badly injured and physicians declared he would never live to see the age of fifteen. What the physicians overlooked was the consuming flame of desire which burned within the weak, undersized body. He overcame his physical problems and rose to be one of the world's strongest and best built athletes. The Key to Might and Muscle is his greatest work in the strength field. Tons of information on exercises from head to toe, with many stories of his fellow strongmen and their feats. If you buy one book for strength and fitness this would be a great choice. Here are the chapters inside: 1 - A Few Chapters From the Story of My Life 2 - The Truth About Exercise 3 - Defining the Mystery of Strength 4 - Curative Exercises 5 - Building a Mighty Chest 6 - Is There Such a Thing As Bone Strength? 7 - What is the Bogey in Forearm and Calf Development? 8 - Thickening the Wrist by Strengthening the Grip 9 - The Value of Finger Strength and How It Is Acquired 10 - Famous Men of Might and Muscle 11 - How a Columnar Neck Creates Nerve Force 12 - Strengthening the Weakest Link in the Spinal Chain 13 - Creating Intense Vitality By Abdominal Development 14 - Banishing Round Shoulders & Protruding Shoulder Blades 15 - Some Fascinating Facts and Figures 16 - How to Develop Superb Hips and Thighs 17 - Where is the Science of Lifting Weights? 18 - Building a Shapely Arm 19 - How Specialization Destroys the Jinx Of Stubborn Muscles 20 - What is Man's Limit in Weight-Lifting? 21 - Why Home Exercise is the Best 22 - Do You Know the Sources of Your Vitality? 23 - The Standard That Determines the Ideal Shape 24 - Some Actual Results of Practical Exercise From inside the book "Just sit down a few moments and question yourself honestly. Search your heart thoroughly, and I am sure you will agree with me that there is much to be improved in yourself. Even if you are athletic, you can never keep up the standard of fitness unless you stick to a few minutes of practice. It amply repays you for the time spent. I never regret the many hours devoted to this practice. It meant a new lease of life to me, and as I draw this chapter to a close let me say that such splendid specimens of humanity as Sandow, Maxick, and Pullum all traversed the same road to secure what they got. They were not miracles, although it may appear so. Just remember them, and let their lives inspire you, as I was inspired. Everybody has the same chance, and the man who is normally healthy, really, has no obstacles to face. Perseverance, patience and determination will be repaid in untold wealth, health, strength, self-reliance and fortitude." George Jowett has his name attached to a number of other books including the ever-popular Molding Mighty Men Series.
